German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Folklore / Sage in Tirol: Der Riese Haymon
German term or phrase: zu Wasser gebrannt
The phrase is from:
"Daßelbig Ort wird noch heutigs Tags von den Inwohnern daselbsten der Thürsenbach genannt und die roten Stein so daraus genommen und hernach zu Wasser gebrannt werden Thürsenblut genannt."
"zu Wasser gebrannt" in this case means (赤い石が)"水中で焼かれる"、"水辺で焼かれる"、"焼かれて水になる"、"(赤い石を)煎じる"、?
What does it mean?

「蒸留酒をつくる」または「火酒を蒸留する」


Explanation:
ドイツ語で "zu Wassen brennen"は "Kirschwasser"(さくらんぼからの蒸留酒)、"Branntwein aus Kartoffeln"(じゃがいもの蒸留酒)などと日常的につかわれるように、ロシアのウオッカのように強い蒸留酒(火酒ともいうことがある)を造ること意味するので、このような訳がよいと思いますが。独和辞書にもあります。
